These helpful tips steer A Formula 1 Driving students toward a successful driving career!
1. Never dry steer! Mover your car lightly by holding the brake pedal, THEN steer with fast hands, and slow car. This allows you to measure and control your car.
2. Keywords "PULL" or "TURN" mean LOOK AND SIGNAL! When the examiner says, "Pull over, pull out, Back Right/Left, turn left/right" , communicate immediately by signaling, and turn your head immediately, then plan how, and where to execute the maneuver!
3. When Turning Left or Right, look UP to see the COLOR of the Signal!
4. Full "set back" stops. Stop dead on Yellow. Do not Roll on RED!
5. For hand over hand steering, start with the opposite hand for the turn at the top of the wheel. Hand over hand means return the left hand to 9 o'clock and right hand to 3 o'clock on the wheel. No two hands at the same place! Only use the top half of the steering wheel. This requires PRACTICE to smooth out steering.
6. When you even think of braking, Look in the Rearview Mirror! To avoid getting rear-ended. Most of the time there are escape routes forward, left and right. Always surround yourself with space for the car, and visibility for the driver!
7. Just before entering an intersection, look ahead for a horizon point, lock your arms steering straight, then check left-center, right-center for DANGER! Exaggerate turning your head! This observation is 25 % of your driver exam.
8. When roadside parking, always turn the wheel 1 circle right except UPHILL WITH CURB. Remember "Superman" UP UP AND AWAY! Or UCLA- Always right except " uphill curb left always."
9. Remember to get back into the right lane- it's the law KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS (right lane is for slower traffic, left lane is for passing or turning left so get up to speed limits and move back to the Right lane!
10. S.I.P.D.E: Scan Identify Predict Decide Execute. Predict what's going to happen, make a decision and do it! Constantly THINK around your vehicle: What speed is it? Who's around me? What lane should I be in? TURN your head constantly, what is your next direction? Move your eyes predict another road user's behavior, and your defensive reaction.
11. Be artful and predictable. A good driver signals intentions, checks blind spots, speeds up on lane changes. Communicate with road users position yourself with the flow, get up to maximum speed limits quickly. Beware and be aware! Do not follow the poor examples of other drivers- they are not being given a road test!
12. Do not assume other drivers will stop for you- use your horn!!! Remember you must practice parallel parking and reverse parking, practice between 1-3 hours per week or you will require extra lessons.
13. Stick to the posted speed limit, within 2kms is perfect. You may only do 5km over or under the speed limited. Observation is paramount, so exaggerate your head turn when scanning intersections, or do a slow, CAREFULL blind spot check.
14. Keep your mind ahead of the car! Think and plan the 5-W's: Where am I going?, What is the speed limit? How will I get there? Should I lane change? What is the next direction? Who is around me? What should I be doing, ...turn your head!
15. If you are challenged by another motorist on a lane change, slow down, and cancel your signal, then execute your lane change. Show extreme caution at all pedestrian crosswalks, and especially within the parking lots.

i mostly agree
ie: Have I missed any?
haha a couple of of the comments readers submit are such stoner remarks, mostly i ask myself whether they seriously read the writing and items before posting or if perhaps they merely read the subject of the post and generate the very first thing that drifts into their heads. in any case, it is relaxing to read clever commentary from time to time in contrast to the same, traditional blog vomit which i regularly discover on the net

I like the layout of your blog its simple and easy to manuever. You also have very well written posts here too. excellent work you are doing here.
